Chandler High School       1912

The first recorded school in the Chandler area was at the Chandler Ranch in 1907. When the plot for the Chandler town site was prepared in 1911, a large parcel of land at the northeast corner of Cleveland and California Streets was reserved for a school building. When the town site officially opened on May 17, 1912, the building was already under construction.  The school opened with 67 students in September 1912.  “Old Main” is one of two historic structures remaining on the Chandler High School campus still in use today.
